Abstract / Summary

In September 2009 Celine Marchbank’s mother, Sue Miles, was diagnosed with lung cancer and a brain tumour.

“While I was trying to come to terms with the fact she was dying, I decided I wanted, or maybe needed, to document the time she had left. I didn’t want to create a graphic portrayal of her death, it would have been impossible and wrong to focus only on the dying part, but rather I wanted to photograph our last months together. I looked at the things that made her uniquely her, the details in her house I thought I knew so well, the things that would also be gone when she was.

Her love of flowers was a beautiful part of her personality; the house was always full of them, and as I photographed them I realised they were symbolic of what was happening – they represented happiness, love, kindness and generosity, but also isolation, decay, and finally death.”

The book was met with widespread critical acclaim and has been exhibited and published widely nationally and internationally, including being named Photo Book of the Month by Sean O’Hagan in The Observer and Photo Book of The Week by Photo-Eye.

The work has been shortlisted for several prestigious awards including The European Publishers Award For Photography, The Deutsche Bank Photography Award, The Lucie Foundation and the Emergentes DST International Photography Award.

This book lives in collections and libraries worldwide including: Martin Parr Collection, Tate Library and Archive, Tate Britain, London; Wellcome Library, Wellcome Collection, London; Ingalls Library and Museum Archives, Cleveland Museum of Art, USA; Library of Congress, Washington, USA; New York Public Library, USA; Harvard University, USA; Columbia University, USA; Stanford University, USA; University of Waterloo, Canada; Hong Kong University; Nanyang University, Singapore; University of Technology, Australia; State Library of New South Wales, Australia.
